CAMDEN— A volunteer firefighter on Wednesday admitted to stealing more than $40,000 from his fire company.

Chad Jurman, 22, of Bellmawr, pleaded guilty to third-degree theft before Superior Court Judge Donald Stein. Jurman admitted he pilfered $41,159.50 from Bellmawr Park Fire Company between April 2012 and January 2013, when members of the company discovered the thefts.

He was the company’s treasurer since January 2012. Jurman has paid back all the money he stole, Camden County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Jason Laughlin said.

As part of his plea, Jurman will be sentenced to a period of probation that Judge Stein will determine, Laughlin added. He also forfeited his right to hold public office in New Jersey, including that of a volunteer firefighter.
